Cenote Escondido is best known for its fantastic location. The cenote was first discovered in the late 1960s by Hilario Hitler. He was an American explorer who immersed himself into the ways of the Mayan culture.
Soon after, Cenote Escondido has been visited by many locals and tourists from all over the world. They are curious to learn more about the caves that are part of a massive underground river system. This river and cave system is connected by multiple sinkholes that deliver water to the ocean and vice versa.
The cenote is frequented by swimmers, snorkelers, and divers. But many of those who visit this cenote also do so to relax. It is also a good idea to enjoy a siesta in one of the picnic areas on the site, which feels like paradise as you get shelter from the trees that surround it.
If you simply want to cool off, make sure to take a dip into the 15 by 130 feet natural pool fringed by palm trees that grow on a rocky bluff. The crystal clear water of the cenote enables you to marvel at the school of fishes that swim here. If you dive up to 20 feet in depth, you can also marvel at stunning rock formations.
